Melissa Stockwell's medals are displayed in her Bucktown home. Stockwell, a three-time world champion Paralympic triathlete, works at a prosthetics lab helping fit amputees with artificial limbs. The first female soldier to lose a limb in the Iraq war, she also founded a non-profit, dare2tri paratriathlon club.
